The End-Purpose of Teaching Social Sciences and the Curricular Inclusion of Social Problems

The most recent scientific literature on the treatment of social problems or controversial social questions in the social sciences classroom and their inclusion into curricula emphasizes the need to introduce students into large-scale social debates where different points of view exist, different interests are at stake, and where it is desirable that they construct their own opinions in that respect from a critical and reasoned perspective [...]

An Analysis of the Cooperation between Social Organizations and Enterprises to Promote the Employment of the Disabled Take the Nuanxi Disabled Assistance Project in D City as an Example

With the development of the theory of multiple governance, the methods and methods of collaborative governance of multiple subjects have been widely used in the treatment of social problems and the subjects that solve the employment problem of the disabled are gradually diversifying. This study takes the Nuanxi Disabled Assistance Project in D City as an example, with the cooperation between social organizations and enterprises as an entry point of view. The study found that in the process of social enterprise cooperation to promote the employment of persons with disabilities, there are problems such as insufficient attention to details of cooperation, unstable employment of persons with disabilities, limited and single participation of social organizations, and unsatisfactory cooperation effects, and put forward perfect countermeasures and suggestions for these problems.

Regional responses to social changes in Spain. Trends and policy challenges for social cohesion

AbstractInclusion policies in Spain are regional and local instruments aimed at reducing inequalities and generating social cohesion. The 2008 economic crisis had a strong social impact throughout the country, increasing exclusion situations for the most vulnerable groups. Throughout this text, the evolution of social inclusion regulatory measures of five territories in Spain in the last decade is presented. This review identifies strong inter‐territorial differences in the treatment of social problems. The interest of this work lies in two significant novelties. In terms of methodology, this work analyses the main normative instruments on inclusion. Furthermore, the analysis provides an integral view allowing the identification of development models, current trends and responses to the crisis. The conclusions provide five contributions that may be of interest for the consolidation and development of these policies in Spain, but also applicable in an international context.

Right back like we left something: examining the commodification of Blackness in social services to address racial disparities – the case of Hartford

ABSTRACTMarket-based approaches to addressing racial disparities have essentially re-commodified Blackness. Utilizing Hartford, which contains the largest percentage of Blacks per capita in Connecticut, this article examines market-based approaches to address racial disparities while discussing Blackness as an enduring commodity that is tied to private sector profit. The study argues that market based approaches incentivize punitive approaches to social problems associated with Blackness. The study concludes by suggesting that addressing disparities utilizing markets requires reimagining policy incentives to focus on prevention and treatment of social problems associated with Blackness. Failure to reimagine policy incentives serves to commodify Blackness whereby industries benefit from the continuity of disparities rather than the elimination of disparities.

9 Social problems

It has long been established that social deprivation adversely affects health, including that of the pregnant woman and her baby; it is therefore justifiable to use medical resources in the treatment of social problems. Antenatal inpatient care was originally seen as potentially beneficial for women without major medical problems, but such a philosophy is not reflected in current practice. Current antenatal outpatient services do not address the needs of women with social problems who, viewing such services as hostile, may fail to attend. Special services such as help with drugs problems or HIV counselling or screening may be rejected from fear of prejudice and consequent repercussions. Such prejudice often arises because staff do not fully understand the issues involved. Antenatal care for women with social problems should consider women in the context of their families and social environment and should be provided by a small number of familiar staff forming part of an integrated multidisciplinary team in close and regular contact. Antenatal admission, if it is the woman's wish, should be viewed as justified in the management of social problems; conversely, women should not be pressurized into admission or made to feel guilty if unable to comply. Outpatient antenatal services should be conveniently sited in the community close to other relevant services and should be flexible, not only in terms of organization and format, but also in the roles of the participants. They should be comprehensive, but with special services in addition to, not instead of, routine care, and provided by a team of appropriately trained staff. In the provision of antenatal care for women with social needs, no single format will be universally applicable or desirable, and the precise design and content of the service should be variable according to local requirements and should take account of the women's wishes as well as their needs. Ultimately it will only be if the women perceive the service as being in their interests and as meeting their needs that they will use it; only if they choose to use it, will it have any chance of success.

Strikes as Social Problems: A Social Problem Matrix Approach

Labour unrest is commonly regarded as a cause for social concern (de Boer, 1977; Chermesh, 1982; Estey, 1976, p. 113; Royal Commission, 1968). In order to clarify the issue of social concern at least three key questions must be asked: (1) Who are concerned about labour unrest? Who are the unconcerned? (2) Why are some concerned and others unconcerned? (3) How, if at all, can this concern be mitigated? A tentative response to all three questions will be presented below, based on a social problem matrix approach that derives from Merton and Nisbet's (1971,1976) treatment of social problems. The diagnosis and the prognosis will focus on one type of labour unrest (strikes) and on the experience of a single country (Israel) and will be limited to a specific period of time (the years between the Yom Kippur War, 1973, and the establishment of a Likkud government, 1977). This particular choice stems in part from the availability of relevant data and the present author's familiarity with the Israeli experience. The approach, however, is proposed as a general method for analysing the range of issues identified as social problems by Merton and Nisbet. 'A social problem is a perceived discrepancy between what is and what people think ought to be — between actual conditions and social values and norms — which is regarded as remediable' (1976, p. 40). Such an approach identifies 'an objective aspect of a social problem; this is the way of behaviour itself and 'also a subjective aspect' (Merton and Nisbet, 1971, p. 1). Subjective analysis of social problems (Speetor and Kitsuse, 1973; Kitsuse and Speetor, 1975; Becker, 1967) explain which solutions are apt to be selected and the degree to which resources are mobilised for this purpose.

The Political Economy of Social Problems: From the Sixties to the Seventies

Social problems should be viewed in the broad context of political economy rather than in personalistic or even labeling perspectives. To support this view, the cost-free liberalism of the 60's and the re-capitalizing capitalism strategy of the 70's are analyzed. The misinterpretation of the 60's and the economic difficulties of the 70's are producing an approach to social problems that restricts public expenditures to deal with them and advocates punitive action against those who have succumbed to them. The paper speculates about the likely effects of the emerging political-economic strategy on the epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of social problems. A political-economy approach can help provide the needed awareness of the society that shapes social problems. I believe we are at a turning point in this country, both in the interpretation of social problems and in the conduct of social policies. My theoretical point in this paper is very simple: economic pressures and political stresses mold the emergence and treatment of social problems. We should be more aware of this influence. Our analysis of problems and policies should not remain so narrow. They should include consideration of broader structural forces which shape general ideas and actions on social problems, recognition of common issues underlying many particular problems, and identification of concerns not currently being regarded as social problems. The practical implications illustrated in the paper may be more disturbing: we seem to be moving from a national emphasis in the 60's on what might be called political liberalism at low (economic) cost, to one in the 70's on economic conservatism at high (social) cost, and an uncertain price in political liberty. The New Frontier and then the Great Society faded away, from internal decay and as the old soldiers sent more and more new ones to Vietnam. Now we seem to have a national strategy of business expansion, governmental contraction, and harsh retribution for those who irresponsibly suffer and who struggle against the new superbusiness strategy. In the 70's, it seems, Calvin Coolidge lives again. A new conservative doctrine is emerging to assert that more is less: that the more money Washington spends, the greater a social problem becomes; that government employees are on the dole, like the unemployed who could obtain work if they had reasonable and responsible views about what is a living wage; and that no social policy works, so retribution is the action of choice even if it does not deter undesired behavior.

Spanish Literature in 1936*

ALTHOUGH Spanish literature in the first half of 1936 seems far removed from actual revolution, the unrest noted in Professor E. H. Hespelt's survey for 19351 is observable. Perhaps for this reason, the year was marked by the production of a few outstanding works. This is especially true of the theater. Felipe Sassone, in an article entitled Se habla de crisis teatral (Blanco y negro, April 26), declared that the sad state of Spanish dramatic art was caused not by a lack of authors but by the policy of the theaters: Se cotiza el renombre de firma; and Antonio Obreg6n (El Sol, July 16) remarked that good actors were being ruined by the bad taste prevalent in the theater-chistes, palabreria. Evidence is not lacking to support these statements. Dan, by Enrique Suarez de Deza, one of the best plays of the year, proved too good for the public, which fled to other theaters. The management, faced with failure, replaced Dan with La cofradia de los amargados, by Antonio Paso, comedia sencilla, anticuada, graciosilla y anodinisima. Crisis, another play by Pasoautor preterito y fecundo-though much applauded, was regarded by critics as a prueba de desfachatez de nuestros autores mis prodigados. In like manner, great success attended three plays (Morena clara, La boia de plata, and Mi hermana Concha) by Antonio Quintero and Pascual Guillen, imitators of the brothers Alvarez Quintero on a more vulgar plane. The first had over three hundred preformances. These authors offer la felicidad mas rudimentaria para los espiritus menos exigentes. Much more may be said for another exitazo of the year, Nuestra Natacha, by Alejandro Casona. Natacha (Natalia Valdes), having received her doctorate in pedagogical sciences, is placed at the head of a reformatory and exemplifies a sense of social duty profoundly felt, as compelling as the religious vocation of an earlier day. Though the play is not propaganda, its treatment of social problems caused it to be regarded with great favor and it ran until October 29.

Social Problems and the Mores

T HE TERM social problem indicates not merely an observed phenomenon but the state of mind of the observer as well. Value judgments define certain conditions of human life and certain kinds of behavior as social problems; there can be no social problem without a value judgment.' When our attitude toward a phenomenon is involved in our concept of it, logical difficulties arise which can only be avoided by shifting to an inclusive point of view which enables us to study both the thing and our attitude toward it. It is the purpose of the present paper to suggest such a point of view for the study of social problems. Various attempts to treat social problems in a scientific manner have proved useless because they have dealt only with the objective side of social problems and have failed to include the attitude which constituted them problems. The attitude, the value judgment, is the subjective side of the social problem, and its existence renders meaningless any purely objective account of social problems. In spite of all attempts to define social problems objectively and denotatively, value judgments inevitably intrude themselves into the discussion. Indeed, value judgments must be brought in somehow, for there is no other way of identifying a condition as a social problem than by passing a value judgment upon it. Because they have failed to define clearly their object of study, which is properly the condition called a social problem in relation to the attitude of the person who considers it a problem, sociologists have failed to achieve a scientifically defensible treatment of social problems. Two errors, both of which stem from failure to take the inclusive view of which we speak, vitiate the work of those who have tried to deal with social problems scientifically. (A) In attempting to exclude
